When it comes to Jackie Chan movies, the beloved actor, singer, and stuntman is known for one thing above all else: The incredible Jackie Chan stunts that are the trademark of every Jackie Chan movie. The Drunken Master has done his own stunts for years, which has resulted in a litany of Jackie Chan injuries that would leave lesser actors six feet under.
As evidenced by the brutal Jackie Chan bloopers, Jackie Chan outtakes, and Jackie Chan moments he includes at the end of his films, this legend has a sense of humor about all the times he’s been Jackie Chan injured in a stunt gone wrong. The master of action comedy is more than just a series of Jackie Chan fighting and Jackie Chan stunt scenes, but over his long career full of amazing movies like Rumble in the Bronx, Rush Hour, Supercop, Police Story, City Hunter, and far more, the martial arts icon is most famous for his endurance and indestructibility. When you see a Jackie Chan stunt, you know that there’s a real person there, suffering for his art, but surviving to become a legend around the world.

Bruce Lee: Mystery of how he died Jackie Chan: Mystery of how he is alive
May be because Bruce Lee killed Jackie Chan in the movie Enter of Dragon, so the bad luck of Jackie passed to Bruce?
its underrated comment
Lmaoooo
They could have done so many movies together
ur one thousandth like 😉
Jackie Chan is the real definition of "what doesn't kill you only make you stronger". All that stunt not only didn't kill him but also immortalize him forever. What a legend
because stuntman will die first before him kzhead.info/sun/mNuypNWgnqaViKc/bejne.html Yeah he is a legend.. legend that liar to his fans for until today also still
makes you stranger
More like, what kills you doesn't kill me.

Lemme get this straight this dude broke his spine like 5 times and is somehow healthier than me and I've never broken a bone Edit: was hit by a bus and now have a six pack can confirm.

I NO LEGEND BUT THANK YOU
Daze unfortunately. Everyone except us. I love jacki Chan so much
I've always adored Jackie Chan and his incredible stunts. He's so creative and so funny. One of my favorite actors to watch for all time.
through the video, i wanna say why Jackie got respect from people all over the world is not just because his actions are funny or any other reasons, most important reason is because he paid his life
Cat: I got nine lives. How much do you have? Jackie: *thinks*. Jackie: Idk i lost count
Golden!!

Who read it in his voice
Lost count from all the head injuries hes had.
Doctor: Your leg is completely broken and it swells to twice the size. Jackie: I need a bigger shoe!

@@hyunjinsfallenrice5606 i see whatchu did
@@hyunjinsfallenrice5606 The scary part is that, by all means, he can still do fight scenes on his own. I mean, perfectly understandable (and preferable, both from his end and the audience's end) that no one would want him to do any stunt that requires him dropping to the ground by more than 6 inches... it just seems like he really, really wants to do more stunts... atleast that's the vibe I get off from him.
3:01 that face is just “NO” 😂😂😂😂
Jackie Chan is absolutely one of the most dedicated actors and filmmakers that have ever existed. I feel like he still isn't recognized enough. Long live this legend, bless!
Death: "Aight time to go" Jackie Chan: "Just 500 more movies man"

Jackie Chan is officially the toughest thing Made in China
Sometimes China stuff is very strong

He is one of my heroes after my dad. When I was a kid my father find his dvd’s for every week to watch with him. Thank you so much for all those good movies Jackie Chan

The real question is ... How many doctors does he know?
Fare point
All of them
I'm sure by the time he reached his peak, he probably had his favourite/best doctors around him on set 24/7
HeLLCaT__ O7 but he didn’t get any insurance in china like they put him in the black list...😐
Wait yeah how many do they just have 100 doctor on set when filming Jackie's movie's
I love him because he is genuine, funny, able to laugh at himself and believable scenes. Now I can add brave to my description (or is it crazy?). Love his passion, dedication and zany personality

"How the hell is Jackie Chan still alive?" because he's a protagonist
Indeed!
His plot armor could defeat the entire GoT franchise, and somehow still be the most likeable character in the story and fight.
Well, he definitely has the agony part down.
He is *THE* protagonist...
*then who is the antagonist-?*
it pained me to watch this, i love the guy for all the great memories thru out adolescence watching his excellent works. it hurts my heart man
Love this man for keeping my childhood awestruck

Sadly there will be a day when we'll hear the news (if we're still alive) of Jackie's passing. However, knowing Chinese race - their average life expectancy is damn high compared to us average scrubs
I'm the 300th like and this is so true to

Umair Saleem yep, the average male is considered to live about 80-100 years. Females are considered to live ~90 years. While Indians and Chinese, well, Asians as a whole live more than a 100 years thanks to their food diet.
Police Story my Favourite Jackie Chan Movie & one of my Fav movies
When I saw that helicopter scene it just reminded me the action superstar "Jayan" from our southern state Kerala India who lost his life in an helicopter hanging scene during 80's in the movie " Kolilakkam" which literally means controversy where he fell down from the helicopter while doing a real stunt. Jackie Chan is truly a legend.

@@MatrixamYT exceptions for that one Nobody would survive a nuclear Blast to the Face
This video is basically : "damn that's bad" "But wait..!! there's more"
Lmao
But wait there’s more to that!
and the best part about all those injuries is that he goes onto talk shows to tell stories ... and it always makes audience laugh. very likeable dude indeed :)
Jackie: Tis but a scratch Doctor: A scratch!? Your skull's broken! Jackie: I've had worse.
*Fun* *Fact* : Jackie Chan and his stunt team are blacklisted by all insurance companies so he has to pay himself whenever somebody in his movies gets hurt. Jackie has voluntarily agreed to pay for the cost of the treatment for the injuries sustained during a stunt for the entire life of the injured team member.
OMG..😨.
Understandable
This is a sad fact
legend
If I ran an Incurrence company, I would insure him. Would be great marketing. The only Incurrence company with the balls to insure Jackie Chan
